INTRODUCTIONManaging and analyzing qualitative data can be a trying
experience. Qualitative data is multifaceted, rich in nature,
unstructured and at times can be overwhelming where the researcher
will be provided with information beyond the scope of the study.
Combining a qualitative research data management and data analysis
with technology is frown by some qualitative researchers. Qualitative
researchers now have the option to apply technology tools in their
approach for data management and data analysis to ease the complexity
of the research process.
This course aims to build the capacity of qualitative researchers in
qualitative data management and analysis using NVivo qualitative
software. This software has many features that can assist to simplify
the whole process of doing qualitative research.
DURATION
